A Civilization VII banner has appeared on the 2K Games website ahead of its Summer Game Fest announcement.

The information that Civilization VII would be announced at Summer Game Fest was provided to content creators and media earlier this week. The website does direct users to a trailer and wishlist, which are currently not live.

In mid-May, 2K Games announced it would announce the next iteration of one of its ‘biggest and most beloved’ franchises during Summer Game Fest. Many speculated that the series could be Marfia, Bioshock, or Borderlands, but those rumors have seemingly been squashed.

In 2016, it was reported that the Civilization series had sold over 33 million copies, with over 1 billion hours played. However, more recent numbers are yet to be provided, but sales are expected to be well over 50 million.

I personally really hope it's a more realistic art style like jn civ5. I found civ6 to be too cartoony. But that's just me.

What's up with the bot comments...

Edit: while I'm here... Anyone else also notice how initial YouTube comments on gaming videos are all very similar in positivity or apprehensive yet positive. All very similar. Wonder if this is part of the new advertisement avenue for publishers. Pay bot farms to mass comment on keywords surrounding your game. Ai has advanced to the point of parsing video, scraping keywords, then commenting said keywords. I didn't start seeing(read recognizing) this until like the last 2 years or so.

I have 1.5k hours in Civ6, so I'm excited about this. Usually, civ games release quickly after announcement, but would they release it this year when ARA releases in fall? It sounds like a 2025 release.

Looking forward to the reveal.
